Healthy, Flavorful Food

Rosemary Socca (Chickpea Flour Flatbread)

By

Hi Friends, how are you doing? Back when the Covid-19 pandemic started everyone was going through a bread baking frenzy. Part of this was because there is a lot of comfort to be found in baking, this is very true. The other part is that stores were being bought out of sandwich bread, so people were getting resourceful. And I am assuming the other reason was to try something new, as a way to make the most of extra time spent at home. All of those reasons are great reasons to try your hand at … [Read more...]

Pecan Pie Cookies (without corn syrup)

Move over pecan pie! We've got pecan pie COOKIES now!!! These cookies are pretty amazing. Soft, buttery cookies with a maple sweetened, gooey filling studded with crunchy, nutty pecans. They are melt-in-your-mouth good, and I bet you can't eat just one. I had no idea pecan pie cookies were a thing until one of our friends made them to share at our Friendsgiving a year ago. I saved a note to my phone and knew they would be on the top of my list to create this year. I'm so glad I gave them a … [Read more...]

Apple Crisp (Sweetened with Maple Syrup)

By

I have one question: is there anything better than the smell of apples, cinnamon, and a little maple syrup baking away in your kitchen? Maybe pumpkin pie baking. But the smell of sweet apples coated in cinnamon is by far one of the best smells out there. To me, it smells like my Grandma's house, which is probably why I LOVE baked apples anything. I don't ever remember my Grandma baking apple crisp when I was growing up because we were all too obsessed with her apple pie to want anything … [Read more...]

This post  and recipe has been updated for a better user experience. (The original recipe is also included below). There is a short window for good spring time baking.

At least in my sauna kitchen. Except for spring of 2019 lol! With the exception of a few hot days peppered in we have had an … [Read more...]
